Sir Q. COTTON h4s arrived from off tl3e Migus. An insnrreeiion broke out on . the oth of Novetn - he!, at Algiers, when the Turks killed the DRY, and spread great consternation, which, however; was but momentary, as another Mt, of di* same . name, ALI, was chosen, - and things were soon re• stored to their former tranquil state.. 'Though the intelligence' from Spain which we communicated to our Readers yesterday could be little gratifying to the friends of that Country„ yet it honourable to ourown, inasmuch us it showa that we have done , every thing in our iowet: to sustain, thecause of the Spanish Patriots, and have athuilly rendered them such important services as, if properly followed up by themselves, will ulti mately secure their independence. •If our brave army was obliged to retreat, it retreated from at least lour times its number, when it would not have been courage, but folly or Madness; to attempt an opposition.—lts retreat too was marked by intrepi-, dity and military skill, as is evident by the losses of the enemy and the number of our prisoners. It Was obviously BUONAPARTE'S objea to die t% it .pos- Bible, the total destuction of our arrny-4,atul then, from the consternation and terror which such an event would have produced, the conquest of Spain might have been a comparatively easy achievement. Now we have preserved our forOes for any opportu nities that may present themselves of a more fa vourabk nature., BUONAVAUTE has been withdrawn from his designs ort the South of Spain, and before he can resume those designs, the Patriotic armies, in conjunaien with the British troops,may be able to take measures for-finally defetuing hitn.—We could say more on this subjc6l, not only of a conso latory but of an encouraging description, but the length and variety of other matters ,oblige us to postpone our remarks fur the present. We now.conclude our Article on the ()Wed and probable • Umue cilliuushma,s t easi, AttaCk. un spina. is an opinion very generally received in Europe, that Spain solicited the . Peace of 17ei, and that France didated the Tr, ilasle. The day will corn:: (and, W'o at no very remote period) when it will b 4 oved that it was the French. General who commanded the ..:triny -of the Pyrenees who pressed on the Committee of the .NatiePal, Government, the necessity Of making peace with Spain. That SIEYES and TUEILLAUD, the organs of the Jacobin party in the Committee, insisted on Ola the continuatice of the,,War, iu the hope of revolu lutioniiing Spain: that the General of the army of the Pyrenees declared •it was midnetts to flatter theMselves. that revolutionary principles could he propagated in Spain ; that the Spanish NegOcia 7 tors comportd theimelves with all the dignity be. Coming the Representatives of a great and inde: pendent Nation. And, finally, that the terms - of Peace were agreed to in the Committee of Govern ment by a majtirity of one only. The sane 'Gene pi, who then commaudd the army of the Pyrenees, was afterwards Ambassador to Spain, and his re sidence at Madrid, confirmed hum in the opinion that the Spanish Nation would forever reject the principles of the Revolution. From the Peace of Basle Spain had maintairsed the Treaty with the fidelity which charaaerizes this respectable Nation : her alliance, togiwas extremely advantageous to Fiance. It was therefore ot,:a-stwasent<wilun the oat kilted - opinion compelled thIONAPARTI4 to give the enemies of France a short resotC, to think of declaring War against her mot faithful, her inoSt devoted,,and her most useful Ally. On the other hand, it was not safe to dismiss to their homes those Conscripts, torn from the bosom of 'their families, who had been witnesses of the hound.: less pillage of the Gr..nerals of EVONAPARTE, of thC ' horrorwhich his name every where inspired, and of the odium and disgrace which it brought on their Country. It was then that a plan was conceived for obtaining by perfidy and treason what he did not dare to ravish by open force; and a pretext WO formed for , introducing n French army into Spain, without appe►arin; to, be at War with the country. age and infirmities or CIIARLEi IV. tlu CO l l4 , tempt into which his Government hadlett withi the people, and the general hatred of att. tkiworthyl minion who hod , betrapd his King, hiii Conn*, tty, and every thing bel i c!, sacred among 'lien, sag= gmted the idea of folloWing his ambition by ale of a Sovereignty.

Bilt u circumstance took place, which neither the Cabinet of the ThuiNries, nor thelavourite had foreseen, and this was, 'a re v olution purely ;Spanish. It becaine necessary to ap. 7 pease the Spaniards, by restoring to them the Prince, who had already given them a distant hope of termi nating those humiliations to which the favourite had subjeaed the Nation. The conquest 'of Portugal still served for a pretext to the plan Winch the Cabinet of the Thuidefies obstinately . 'pursued. of covering Spain with French , armies : and whether it be, that GopoT suspected BUONAPAATE would not' perform his promise, but to - Meditate his own views, medi tated sacrificing him to the. Prince of ASTVKIAS or whether the discontent of the Spaniards was so great as to make him fear a general insurreCtion, certain it is, that he decided CIiAItLES IV. to emigrate to Ainerica : and, when that scheme failed, induced him to abdicate in favour of his son. But at Aran"- juez, as at the Escurial, the revolution was still &rely Spanish. We must not deceive ourselves with respea to the cause, of the , conquests •of the Revolution. The French Governirient has. only had armies* to van quish, and Cabinets to . intimidate or corrupt. It has never yet had but one single nation to'combat ; that ONE, we speak it with pride, is our own; and to us, the war has been little else but a succession of triumphs. BIIONAPARI4. ) *Of whom all the power, all the genihs, and all the talents, consist in the' praaice of revolutionary Means, *believed that he should become the undisputed master of Spain, if. he could seize"on the person Of .the King. 'What has happened there, proves, that nations, abanN. cloned u) themselves, have but'one sentiment,' that 'of the independence which they derive from God. It was a glorious spectacle, to see a people, without a Government, rise at she same moment, take arms to ekpel the enemy whom treason hal intiodupd, pardon their Montudit the crimes, of htsrmost in famous Minister, swear to die for his captive son, and thui teach the Sovereigns of the earth, that, existing only by the people, they ought only to liVe for the people ! The reverses which the Spanish armies have sus tained, and which they will yet sustain, will not disconrage this magnanimous nation. The causes Which have occasioned her decline, have not affeaed the national charaEter; she will remaim united, and she.will be invincible. Though we should suppoie that new defeats may constrain her to abandon a yet. greater portion of her territory ; yet, placed between the, maintains and the ocean, the , Spaniards will still be under the protaaion of Nature and Of 'lnk. land. An hundred thousand of our brave troops may seek in . Spain the insulting foe who dared .to menace. the 4nores of Britain ! Again we repeat it :—Upt war will be long,. but Spain Will triumph i she will necessarily have in Austria, and 'Turkey, two Allies which Will compel bIIONAPARTE to employ in. the North those forces which are wanted in Spain : the abUndant resources of this Country, wilt be consecrated to defend her indrpcndence, and a population of , twelve millions, who hive sworn to be free, will riot be subdued by an arity / t) t We conclude with a remark which must convince the Continent, that we do not tbund either our ril-perity or our pOW . er on the ruin of other States. The intlependenc.t of America would be the inf4l - result of the Conquest of Spain by EIuoNA rARTE yet we employ all our' strength to defend the Mother Country !
